C5-HDP2 Typical Wiring Application
INSTALLATION/OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
Unpack the C5-HDP2 from the box. Place the adapter in a location close to the source unit.
Connect the C5-HDP2 to the appropriate output jacks on the source using the integrated RCA
component video cable. If needed, connect the digital audio with the included RCA to
3.5mm cable.
If not already installed, run the UTP cable from the source to the destination. Leave extra
cable length to terminate the ends with RJ-45 connectors. Either EIA-568A or EIA-568B
wiring standard may be used, as long as it is the same on both ends of the UTP cable.
Do not use a cross-over cable! We recommend EIA-568B.
Plug the remote end of the UTP cable into a second C5-HDP-2 unit. Connect the integrated
component video cable from the C5-HDP2 to the HD monitor. The digital audio can be
connected to the monitor (provided that it has the digital audio input option) or to an audio
receiver that has digital audio input capabilities.
Adjust brightness on video monitor to compensate for cable loss.
Installation is complete.

HIGH DEFINITION CAT5 PASSIVE BALUNS
The C5-HDP2 is a high quality, wide bandwidth balun that is designed specifically to
transport HD video over medium distance UTP cable runs. It has an integrated 8" RGB cable
for component video and digital SPDIF audio. The UTP connector uses standard Cat5 or
Cat6 cable in order to transport the signals to a remote location. All four channels use the
same wide bandwidth, custom balun transformer. This allows all channels to be used for
composite video if desired. The chassis is heavy gauge aluminum to stand up to any abuse and
provides excellent shielding to prevent pickup of unwanted signals. The chassis is
powder-coat painted to ensure corrosion and scratch resistance.
SPECIFICATIONS
VIDEO
Nominal Input Level: 1 Volt peak to peak
Gain: N/A (Passive unit)
Input Impedance: 75 ohms
Output Impedance: Balanced 100 ohms
Isolation port to port: >60 dB
Isolation out to input: Bi-directional
Return loss: >15 dB
Video bandwidth: > 35 MHz
Interface: Integrated 8" cable
with RCA connectors
AUDIO
Digital/Analog:
There is one audio channel available. It may be used to
transport a SPDIF digital audio signal or a mono audio signal
(mono analog signal will be attenuated slightly due to lower
impedance of the Digital Audio channel). Adapter cable is
included.

DISTANCE
The adapter provides a minimum of signal loss and may be used for High Definition
distribution with cable lengths up to 200 feet usually with no adjustment to the monitor. We
have achieved good results with a 1080i signal with cable in excess of 300 feet. Due to the
passive nature of the adapter and the inherent loss of the UTP cable, the picture was a little
less bright, but easily corrected with minor adjustment to the monitor brightness control. For
composite video, the balun should provide an excellent picture in excess of 750 feet. When
used in security applications, a monochrome picture will work in excess of 1500 feet.
POWER
No power required.
